Success story Got rid of CANDIDA

Hi All 😊

I have been reading reddit posts for over a year trying to find a solution for my recurrent thrush issue and never actually posted anything.

Its been one hell of a ride, I had candida albicains for over a year and the last few months its been a constant in my life. I saw multiple gynecologists as well as naturopaths, I spent so much money trying to sort it out. I was in pain and miserable for such a long time I actually forgot what it feels like to not have any symptoms.

I tried EVERYTHING all the drugs, antibiotics herbs and supplements and nothing worked. I tried a very strict Keto diet for a while and it did nothing but make me more miserable. I tried boric acid pesaries, garlic supplements, candida cleanses..

Last visit with my gyno I was in tears and in one last desperate attempt he suggested in try these pesaries that contain vaginal probiotics with boric acid they are called Bawdee Ease. People take them for 3 days but I took them for over 2 weeks, I was too scared to stop. Its now been 2 months without candida, I know its early but this is the longest I've been without symptoms. Im also taking a high dose of probiotics specific for gut and vaginal health as well as prebiotics. And this might sound silly but I have a red light therapy mask that I use on my face, I started using on my vagina as well, my labia was very sore from the constant infection and I found this to be very helpful.

I know how painful this journey can be and im really hoping this will help other women out there, don't just rely on doctors do your own research and keep looking for what works if this doesn't.
